Have you ever tried Bubblelews?
Bubblews is a site that claims to pay you every time someone reads your article. They don't. However the the site is good for generating traffic to your own website.

Even though Bubblews is basically a scam. They receive a lot visitors. It is a great place to post your article, and links. Just do not expect to be paid by them. They have an almost impossible to reach $50 cashout minimum that they will reject once you reach it.

Does anyone know of any legitimate sites similar to Bubblews? It would be a good source of passive income.
